I understand that this is a very basic question, but I'm unable to login to the userportal as an end user.

I've sucessfully setup the userportal, and I've successfully setup AD authentication. (initially had some issues with "referral" being displayed, but have since corrected and now have AD Authentication success).

Each time I attempt to login as my first test user is says login failure. Can someone direct me in the right direction?

Flipped back to the administrator account, restarted services attempted the IP instead of FQDN. Also tried a couple versions of the .local and still nothing.

I'm not sure when, but when I look at the users, the secretary account is listed as an enduser. Truely dont know when that would have populated with all the trial error, but I'm still getting login failures. All AD accounts seem to fail. The only working accounts are those specified in the helpdesk account area.
